    Anyone have one? Wife is wanting one, so just trying to get some feedback on it first.

    Android Central review... Looks like a solid phone.

    Cool phone...that man has sausage links for fingers. Almost sounds out of breath by the end of the video.

    I would wait until you see what Samsung and Google has cooking up next week.

    I when from a Razor to a Droid Incredible. Still learning and finding things I can do with it. Whatever you have now will only get better with each new generation of cell phones and pads

    I like mine. What kind of questions do you have? My only real concern when I got it was battery life, but its been much better than I thought. I got an extra battery as part of a accessory bundle so it probably won't be an issue. Its not heavy like I thought it would be, and it seems like its a good size. (TWSS) I would guess your wife has smaller hands than I do so it might be too big for her. (TWIS) It took me a while to get used to how it was set up as I was coming from Blackberry, but now that I have gotten used to it, I don't have any problems. Best thing I'd say is for her to go into a verizon and get some hands on time with it. Any other questions you have, ask. I know there are a couple other owners on here as well.

    Didn't really have anything specific in mind. Was just wondering if other users thought it was a good phone and what kind of flaws it had, if any. How is performance? Just the basic stuff.

    The Nexus S is curved like that and I don't think it is a problem. I believe the idea behind it is less scratches on the glass and more comfort when using the phone.

    After the disappointing Apple news I was just going to get the Bionic but as you said, might as well wait to see whats up next.

    Ah got ya. Like I said, I haven't had any issues with it and battery life has been better than I thought it would be. Obviously there will be newer and better phones coming out just like there always is, but it is a good phone. I'd also guess it might drop in price with some other android phones coming out.

    If you had to get a phone right now on VZW and you wanted it to have Android, the Bionic is the way to go. However, it doesn't hurt to wait a week to see what Google has in store.

    oh ok...a buddy of mine has the S and its not bad at all...maybe the laser line in the vid is making it look more extreme in my eye...but i agree its gonna feel great when on a call

    Hot speculation is the Nexus Prime (or whatever it will be called) may dock with a tablet shell. Now THAT would be revolutionary (even if expected, eventually).

    Didn't Asus already show this off with the Padfone? I have not seen anything about a nexus device docking with a tablet shell.

    The Bionic and Atrix dock into a netbook shell. So would the Prime docking into a tablet shell be THAT​ revolutionary?

    I like mine. The only thing I don't like is that it sometimes reboots itself at inconvenient times. Other than that, great phone.
